The highlight of the Ventspils City Festival will take place on the evening of August 2 at Ostas Street Promenade, where the grand closing concert “735 White Thoughts” will be held — a vivid and dynamic music program leading everyone into a shared festive experience before the fireworks.

Starting from 8:00 PM, the stage will be warmed up by the band "Carnival Youth," performing their most popular songs. At around 9:20 PM, the concert program "735 White Thoughts," specially created for the Ventspils festival, will begin. Bright personalities and bands from Latvian music will take the stage: Antra Stafecka, Normunds Pauniņš, Atis Ieviņš, Horens Stalbe, DJ Monsta, as well as the groups "JŪT" and "Musiqq." The special guest is JD Davis from Belgium, whose voice is well known to fans of DJ David Guetta's work.

The concert will feature a dynamic musical program built on the golden classics of Latvian early 1990s estrade, rock, and pop music. Just as the city of Ventspils has grown and transformed since that time, these legendary songs will be reborn in a new sound - experiencing genre and stylistic transformations. They will naturally blend with international musical influences and contemporary melodies, creating a unified concert story. The witty actor duo "GRABULIS" - Gints Grāvelis and Andris Bulis - will help tell this story in a relaxed atmosphere. JD Davis is a versatile artist - singer, DJ, songwriter, and producer - whose voice can be heard in worldwide hits such as "The World Is Mine," "Closer to Me," and "In My Eyes," collaborating with David Guetta, Deep Dish, Junior Jack, and other electronic dance music stars. His recent collaboration with Olivier Heldens and DJs from Mars on a new version of New Order's "Blue Monday" has gained international recognition and has been played at various dance music festivals - this song will also be heard in Ventspils. The color white symbolizes our unity.
